Meursault is a creative offspring of Edinburgh’s champion of “epic lo-fi” Neil Pennycook, who describes it as “a solo project with a revolving cast of friends/musicians”.

Since their debut Song, By Toad release in 2009, they made appearances at major music festivals (SXSW, Glastonbury, T in the Park, End of the Road) and received critical praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Drowned in Sound, The Skinny and The Line of Best Fit.

In 2013, Meursault‘s third album, Something for the Weakened, was nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) award. After a break of three years performing under the moniker of Supermoon, Neil Pennycook came back to Meursault with an EP Simple is Good, released on Song, By Toad in November 2016.
